How much for the ring and pinion?
Did you get a new PITA pin for the ARB?
Dont forget some 1/4 in tube and components for the traction bar...Id personally go to metal masters for that...Sam is quite pricy these days with just about everything including steel.
Are you gonna do the 60 housing/ third NOW, or wait till later?
One more thing...MAKE SURE that Marlin has the knuckle rebuild kit IN STOCK...I waited for 3 weeks, and they still didnt have them. I had to find a different resource for mine.

BTW, Ive been meaning to ask...how'd the wife take the news?!
Are you currently sleeping in the 100?

Over all she wasn't really as PO'd as you might expect. But she hasn't see the bill yet either. OTOH this isn't the first Diff I've destroyed so she has an idea it aint gonna be cheap.


Do they have a twelve step program for people like me?

I screwed up again. I thought I was ready to get the replacement gears installed, then I realized I should probably have the new drive line flange before I took the diff to a shop. I ordered the flange from High Angle Thursday so it should be here next week.
